Judge Gooding Wants His Fee.

It will be remembered that Judge David S. Gooding, of this city, who also has a law office at Indianapolis, recently began a suit for Mrs. Emily Teague, of Anderson, for $5,000 damages against John Hickey, one of Anderson's oldest citizens, for breach of promise. In some way the plaintiff was induced to dismiss the suit without the knowledge of her attorney. Judge Gooding on Monday brought suit in the circuit court there against both Mrs. Teague and Mr. Hickey, for $500. He also a3ks an injunction to keep her from disposing of her property, which she is now doing, until this case is settled.

Hickey says he does

not understand why he is made a party to the suit.

CHURCH NOTES.

A Sunday school rally will be held at the Christian church on Sunday, Nov. 3, at 10 o'clock a. m.

At the conclusion of this lesson, other exercises '."•ill follow.—Easurille RojjuLlican.

The above conveys an excellent idea. If the older members of the churches here would take an increased interest in the Sunday-schools, it would be of great advantage in many ways.

DID THE OFFICERS GET THE BIGHT

MAN?

About 25 Tramps tn The City. Greenfield Need* A Station House And Some Chain Gang Work on Bur Streets.

Yesterday about 25 tramps pulled into the cily and they are an exceedingly tough looking lot. They annojed quite a good many citizen" during tne day. Last night they got boisterous down at the Last Chance and City Marshal Scott, with officers Dudding, Johnson and Walsh arrested three of them, but only put two in jail, as the condition of one was such that he was not even fit to be put in the jail. It is suspected that one of the men arrested is Charles Brooker, alias Griffin, alias Henry Brooks, who isupposed to be the leader of the gang who stopped an electric street car in Chicago Oct. 7th and robbed the passengers For the arrest and couviction of this g^g a reward of $2,600 is offered and a proportioned amount for any one of rh"n. Brooker is 35 ye-trs old, 5 feet. 6 inc^'e'3 tail, weighs 1351b*?, brown hair, fair complexion, blue eyes, has a scar over left eye brow, scar on left chetk bone, crucifixion in ink oa right fore arm, cross anchor near base of.» right thumb He

vi:is

been in Joliet and Ft.

Madison penitentiaries, is a peddler, generally of vegetables but sometimes of jewelry The rest of the gang are wait ing along the railroad and say they will wait until their pals are released. This clearly demonstrates that Greenfield needs a station house. If we had one such a gang could lie put in and then made to do time on the streets. While it would cost a little something to errect the station house, the work on the streets would more than pay for it and besides would keep our city free from many obnoxious characters. Tramps steer clear of a place where they are compelled to work and citizens are therefore not annoyed. A few local characters could also begin salutary lessons by a good dose of street working.

Theosophical Lectures at the Court House, Thursday and Friday Nights.

Mr. Bucham Harding, a lecturer of the American Theosophical Society, will lecture at the court-house Thursday night on "Reincarnation," and Friday.night on "Human Perfection." The admission is free, the public invited and no collection will be taken. The following may give an idea of the principles and teachings of Theosophy: "Whatever may be thought of the metaphysics of theosophy, no one can find anything to criticise in the ethics it teaches, a universal brotherly love, and the subordination of the animal to the spiritual nature, the same principles which lie at the bottom of all the great religions of the world. The theosophist has also, however, a most elaborate system aiming to explain all the mysteries of life aud death, p.ist, prcssnc and future, disease, suffering, disappointment, inequalities, purgatory, heaven, hell, the relations of all die kingdoms of visible and invisible nature. So it is no wonder that the study of theosophy is a very fascinating one. We are all children of greater or lesser growth and intensely curious for any sort of reply to our questionings of what is generally regarded as the unknown. The attempt to give in our limited space the theosophist's answers to any of the old, old questions would be in vain. Suffice it to say here that theosophy teaches that the soul is not limited to one life in the body, but comes back many times to the end that it may develop and progress to higher conditions. This is the doctrine of re-incar-nation. Then there is the doctrine of karma, so called, which it would require an encyclopedia to thoroughly define, it means so many things. A man's karma is made by himself it might be loosely described in one sense, as the inevitable consequence of his own life. It requires retribution for every sin, in this or some future incarnation it carries rewards for every good thought or act. It might be described, from the theosophist's standpoint, as the power which develops and educates the sonl.

The subject of theosophy is, as those of our readers who have formerly heard nothing of it may begin to see, a very interestimg one. Merely form an intellectual standpoint it has great attractions to the student.

Henry Wilson, the postmaster at Welshton, Flordia, says he enred a case of diarrhoea of long standing in six hours with one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. What a pleasant surprise that must have been to the sufferer. Such cures are not wnusual with this remedy. In many instances only one or two doses are required to give permanent relief. It •an always be depended upon. When reduced with water it is pleasant to take. For sale by M. C. Quigley, Druggist.
